Brand New: 2018 Corvette Dream Giveaway

The Corvette Dream Giveaway brought to you by Lingenfelter Performance Engineering is back and better than ever. For 2018, we’ve found a classic Corvette Sting Ray that makes driving as carefree as your late-model daily driver. Keep reading to find out how you can join the restomod revolution.

What’s a restomod?

A restomod (restoration + modern parts/technology) draws from all the amazing advancements in automobile technology over the past 40-plus years to enhance a classic car’s drivability.

If you’re new to the restomod craze, it’s the fastest growing segment of the classic-car hobby. In fact, restomod classic cars are now more valuable than numbers-matching classics. Watch any televised auction like Barrett-Jackson and you’ll see finely restored restomod Corvettes—like this grand-prize Sting Ray—selling for serious, six-figure hammer prices. Enter to win and you can drive this sexy Sting Ray grand-prize anywhere your imagination takes you without compromising on the performance, comfort and safety features available today.

Classic style plus modern reliability make this the 1965 Corvette Sting Ray in the new giveaway the first of its kind in Corvette Dream Giveaway history.

And that’s just half the grand prize. We also have the keys to a brand-new, 600-horsepower 2018 Corvette Grand Sport waiting for you if you’re the winner.

Remember, when you enter and win, you’ll join us here in Clearwater, Florida, to be handed the keys to the 1965 Corvette Stingray restomod and the matching 2018 Corvette Grand Sport.

Winner Spotlight: Chevelle Dream Giveaway

Winning a Dream Giveaway is a definite game changer. For Phillip Boman of Alabama, it will allow him to enjoy one of the classic vehicles he’s admired since he was a young man.

We recently invited Boman to Clearwater, Florida, and awarded him the keys to the time-capsule 1970 Chevelle SS396 that starred in the 2017 Chevelle Dream Giveaway brought to you by OPGI.

He and his wife couldn’t wait to load their black-on-black, fully restored king of the muscle cars into their enclosed trailer and get it out on the open road. Luckily, they are both experienced four-speed-manual experts, and both he and she will put the pedal to the metal from the driver’s seat of their new Chevrolet.

“I have wanted a Chevelle for a long time so this is a dream come true,” he told us.

Your chance to enter to win seven amazing Dream Giveaways is going on right now; including the Demon slayer HellScat, our first restomod Corvette package, a rare 1965 GTO, the ultimate Jeep, a last-of-the-breed Viper or a $10,000 gift card to Amazon.com or The Home Depot.
